Ingredients

What you'll need

  • 1 lb beef tenderloin
  • 1 medium unsalted butter
  • 1 lb garlic
  • a pinch fresh thyme
  • 4 oz kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup coarse black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • to taste good finishing oil
Method

Step by step

  1. Pat the beef tenderloin dry and season it well so it browns instead of steaming.
  2. Get your pan hot and render the aromatics until they smell sweet and toasty.
  3. Return the beef tenderloin, add just enough liquid, and simmer until everything is tender.
  4. Taste, brighten with a squeeze of citrus, and plate while it is still hot.
